This week we’re diving into an absolute classic with “Titanic” Should’ve Been Gay 🛳️. We hung out with Alexi Melvin (@thealeximelvin.bsky.social) & broke down the many, many reasons this movie is actually a (poorly disguised) sapphic romance. 🎧 Tune in on your fav podcasting app. #titanic #podcast

It’s all fun and games until somebody murders a stripper. 😵 Rough Night follows a group of girlfriends who spend their bachelorette weekend getting high ❄️, straight up 💀 a man, & trying not to hook up with each other. If this movie had been gayer, Alice wouldn’t have had to kill that man. 💅

Don’t let the media get away with painting this as some random “dispute” between neighbors. This was a blatant homophobic hate crime on DAY ONE of pride month.

This horrifying and hate-fueled attack on an indigenous openly gay man is yet another poignant reminder of why we need Pride month. And not some corporate washed sanitized version— it’s time to throw the 🧱!

We manifested this with our episode on the Hustle 😹

We hung out w/ Tisha, Executive VP & Cruise Director, to talk about Olivia’s 35-years of creating space for sapphic joy. 🚢🏝️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The 90-minute movie is SO underappreciated. This week we dive into the sunny waters of Capri to talk about why the 2019 crime-comedy The Hustle Should’ve Been Gay. If you would let Anne Hathaway do questionably dirty things to you (like feed you a 🚽 french fry), you’re going to love this movie 😜.

Listeners, the time has come. We need to talk about Pretty Little Liars 🤫. Whether you were part of the #BooRadleyVanCullen gang or you’ve never seen the show, you’re in for a RIDE as we chat with founder of TGI Femslash John Arrow for a particularly unhinged Lez-ssentials episode. #PLL

Do a new season of Love Is Blind, but instead of pairing all these women with loser, unfuckable men, just toss in a bunch of lesbians to mix it up 👍🏼

This feels like the inverse of this Ellie quote 😆

For when your scissors tee is in the wash 👍🏼

We’ve somehow entered our “extremely religious Should’ve Been Gay movies” era and we hope you’re all ready 😂
